It’s a yes from me, I love to send and receive voice notes especially from friends I don’t see very often, I will say though none of my four AC send them, and my husband refuses to use it, but he does like to hear them just won’t use them himself! We very rarely make phone calls unless to hospital etc.

I don’t like doing voice notes only one of my friends does them just for ease.

My sister and I use them all the time …. have done for couple of years. Some people don’t like them as they think they have to ‘practice’ what to say….like an answer phone message! But I just gab on like I would if we were on phone. Nobody else uses them in my family ….but so much easier than texting , and hearing a voice so much better.

I get them from one son sometimes, I didn't realise what they were at one time so didn't get the message he was sending g, now I'm familiar with them.

My son uses this - I didn't know it was called voice notes. I find them annoying as often can't hear it properly. It's much easier to read a message.

I do, but to be honest, I prefer a written message. A lot of my work instructions come by Whatsapp and I like having a written record, in case I need to check back (terrible memory!). One of my clients sends voice notes though. But I respond in writing.

Yes I do from time to time with Daughter but like GagaJo i like the written record as my memory seems to fail me lately over forgetting dates of plans etcgrin

I'd never heard of them. I should investigate!
